Acerca de esta escucha
To survive in a game with no rules at all, John Corey must invent a strategy that includes no luck at all. The hero of DeMille's No. 1 New York Times best seller, Plum Island, Corey has been through a lot, not the least of which was surviving three bullet wounds while serving on the NYPD. Now he signs on with the government's Anti-Terrorist Task Force in an attempt to stop an alleged Libyan terrorist known simply as "The Lion".
The Lion has the instincts of a wild animal, the bloodlust of a carnivore, and the boldness and speed of a cat of prey. And now he's loose in America. Can John Corey stop him? Or has his allotment of luck just run out? Nelson DeMille spins an epic tale of heart-pounding suspense.

Welcome to the fabled Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision: John Sutter, Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy; and Frank Bellarosa, the Mafia don who seizes his piece of the staid and unprepared Gold Coast like a latter-day barbarian chief and draws Sutter and his regally beautiful wife, Susan, into his violent world.

"If Robert Littell didn't invent the American spy novel," says Tom Clancy, "he should have." In this spectacular Cold-War-as-Alice-in-Wonderland epic, Littell, "the American le Carre," takes us down the rabbit hole and into the labyrinthine world of espionage that has been the CIA for the last half-century. "Ostensibly a single novel, The Company can also be listened to as an anthology of cracking good spy stories," says ( Publishers Weekly).

The accident came quickly. With no warning. In the dead of night, a precipitous plunge into a freezing river trapped everyone inside the bus. It was then that Army veteran John Reiff’s life came to an end. Extinguished in the sudden rush of frigid water. There was no expectation of survival. None. Let alone waking up beneath blinding hospital lights. Struggling to move, or see, or even breathe. But the doctors assure him that everything is normal. That things will improve. What they haven’t told him… is that he is the first person to be successfully revived from a cryonic sleep.

Entertaining
The main character's personna took a little while to grow on me. His NY style personality seemed to be your stereo typical male chauvenist type...but he grew on me nonetheless because it was smartly written. The author knows how to create interactions among his characters that were devoid of annoying behaviors, yet still have their imperfections. This is an important criteria since annoying characters can really ruin a good story. Last, but not least, it was well read. I found myself laughing and chuckling quite a bit while i listened to this book. It was very entertaining.

4 ½ stars. Excellent suspense thriller.
I didn’t want to stop reading. It’s a long book. I had a hard time putting it down. Lots of suspense. Many times I was saying come on, come on - eager to find out what was going to happen next. John Corey is a smartalecky, arrogant cop working for the FBI. He has many entertaining one-liners and jokes. I liked his humor, but humor is subjective and some readers may not like it. There were a few surprises along the way. Some parts were a little slow, but the last half was the best. The ending was good and complete enough for me, although the killer Asad was still alive and un-caught. The story continues in the sequel “The Lion.”
Asad was a well done bad guy. He’s a stealthy smart killing machine. I consider “The Day of the Jackal” by Forsyth as great. Lion’s Game reminded me of Jackal, but LG was missing the following. I wanted to see how Asad got his information, how his sources got information, and how Asad and those sources communicated.
Asad interacted with many people. It was hard to believe they did not recognize him. Asad’s picture was all over the TV and newspapers.
One negative - a stupid event: Two guys know Asad is in the area with a sniper rifle. So why are they walking outside alone with no bullet proof vests or other protection?
NARRATOR:
Scott Brick did an excellent job as John Corey because Scott does cocky arrogance well. John Corey’s arrogance was written in an entertaining way so it worked. But I’ve given Scott Brick 1 and 2 stars for his narration of other books where he was too arrogant, and it detracted from the book. Scott narrated females nicely here.

Good, but overrated by reviewers
This book would have gotten three stars but I really liked the character of John Corey, who raised it up to four stars for me. The middle 80 percent of the book seemed like the same stuff over and over again. I enjoyed the buildup to the conclusion, but prefer books with closure. The Lion is on my "to-listen" list and I hope that DeMille has done the right thing by letting our terrorist friend rest in literary peace at the conclusion of that one. Meanwhile I'm continuing to follow Corey's exploits by beginning a listen of Night Fall on the commute home today. It's my fifth DeMille book. He's a gifted author.

Engrossing, engaging and funny
Yep, this book is over 21 hours long, and in my opinion, that's still not long enough. It takes a lot to dedicate oneself to such a lengthy book, but this one is more than worth it.
Nelson DeMille has a real winner with the character of John Corey. Some people may find him offensive sometimes, but I think he comes off as very real. He's one of the few characters that I've come across in a very long time who literally made me laugh out loud on several occasions.
The story itself is very good. We get to get inside the head of the terrorist as well as those who are trying to catch him. The point of view switches back and forth throughout the book, and the effect is riveting. As far as mystery novels go, I would rank this right up at the top. I just wish I would've found this gem sooner.
Scott Brick as the narrator is his usual brilliant self. He's actually the reason I stumbled upon DeMille to begin with. I'm glad I did.
If you are a fan of a great mystery, do not pass this book up! When you finish this one, check out "Night Fall" which is the next story with Detective John Corey. You'll love that, too.

More than a pleasant surprise
Have listened to about 40 audio books now and this is one of the best, especially since I didn't really know what to expect (didn't know the author or narrator).
Anyway the storyline was good and the characters great. The Narrater did a fantastic job in bringing the characters to life, added timing on the humor etc.
Thoroughly engaging read.

Straight forward thriller
This was my first thriller on audible.com and is what got me hooked! It's a straight forward thriller. It could use a steamy relationship or something in that vein to spice the story up a bit. But, this is very well written and there is plenty of excitement just pursuing the bad guys to keep me entertained until the end.

John Corey
I'm about half way with this and I'm finding John Corey's humor and sarcasm very tiresome.
The story is interesting. I especially like the alternating chapters rotating between the FBI and the bad guy. I always liked this style.
As stated, John Corey's humor is lame at best and the sarcasm does not add any value to the story. Kind of corny. One star off for the Corey character.

In top ten!
DeMille, genius is wit and easy going way he makes you fall in love with a book about war. Scott Brick is the master.

Fairly Interesting
Im not sure I like the play between first person and third person grammar throughout the book when switching between hero and villain narrative. The nonstop NYC cop smart-alec quipping of John Corey is annoying, not clever. The books in this series feel too much alike, so despite strong narration I'm not overly enthusiastic with this rating.

Fantastic
I laughed, in between the incredible suspense and amazing writing. I am a huge DeMille fan and love John Cory. Absolutely worth the time and credit. My favorite so far, and I loved The Gold Coast, The Gate House and Plum Island. Just beginning The Lion, the sequel. Mind you, I spent the last 12 hours listening to this book nonstop. I just couldn't stop, not even for sleep. Thank you Mr. DeMille. Can't believe it's took me so long to find you 💌
